I have been seeing a lot of new trends in graphic design that I don’t know if I like. A lot of these trends, I think, are because of this new web 2.0 look and feel of websites. for a while print was making it’s way into graphic design, but now web is making it’s way into graphic design.

There are a lot of space age looking design with Victorian-ish (if that is a word) swirls. It is almost like this look is a template for new graphic design. I really feel like with this look and other trends that are coming out today it is diminishing design and creativity. Anybody now with photoshop and access to online tutorials are graphic designers. Trends are fine, but i am getting tired of seeing them. The one recently that I was was the typeface that has a slanted a, MTV is using it, bands are using it, contemporary designers are using it. It is not original anymore.  What’s next?
